Does writing have a future?
For my Zo Computer ⤫ Contra submission, I went head-on into finally making an ecommerce library for my literary projects. One could wonder... "Why would anyone read these days? Let me parse these words into an LLM and get a fast synthesis of the message".
Of course that can and should be done sometimes, but reading will always be an end in itself - within the pages of a book there will always be a door to a personal revolution, a hero to inspire us in different ways, the questions and answers we need to discover. Reading, in the era of AI and videos is not dead - and I stand by that claim. What literature needs, is a new way to be consumed, a new method to be... userly experienced. I have always envisioned many different ways to revolutionize such an ancient format of media - a media that is slow by nature, dense by origin and as rewarding as it is challenging to be protected as a habit in the times that we live.
@Zo Computer was the technology that enabled me to accomplish my vision for a whole new kind of reading, it helped me organize, structure and distribute my books with cutting-edge computational power and a fresh user experience that is quite addictive to use - and that I'm pretty sure I will be using it for more personal projects.
Features:
Over 5 years of artistic writing; 100,000+ worth of words in content and 200+ images uploaded into a Zo Computer? Check ✅
Zo's native Stripe integration to process payments and gate content? Check ✅
Custom domain purchased just for my now dear Zo Computer? Check ✅
Creative use of Zo integrations like having my personal Gmail send purchase orders and email confirmation links? Check ✅ - Zo updating every time the agent delivered a summary was just a bonus.
Easter eggs and gifts (a free product for a friend)? Check ✅
The library is live. Five years of writing, one obsessive build sprint, and a vision for what reading can be - all waiting for you at library.thiagopatriota.com
